GRATE FOR COOKING-STOVES.

Specication of Letters Patent No. 7,284, dated April 16, 1850.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JOHN T. DAVY, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer andState of New York, have invented anew and Iniproved Mode of Constructing Fire-Grates to be Used in Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed draw ing, making a part of this speciiication," in which- Figure l, is a Vertical section through the front part of the stove running from front to back, showing the grate in place, and Fig. 2, a perspective View of the grate attached to a plate which constitutes the 'ront part of the fire chamber.

The nature of my invent-ion consists in the so arranging the curved grate in connection with curved ash plate, as secured by Let-ters Patent of the United States granted to Samuel Pierce July 31st 1847, in such a manner as that the grate is raised so that the coals are let down into the summer arrangement for broiling and other purposes and also the lire chamber is of ashes in the same manner, and the grate by its own weight and curvature retains its proper position for retaining the fuel in the chamber.

The description is as follows: I employ a curved iire plate A, in fro-nt of the fire chamber to which the grate B, is hung, and falls against the curved ash plate C, where it is retained by its own weight and the ashes or coals are let down in the summer arrangement D, through the space E, by raising the grate in the position shown in red lines. The draft is also concentrated in the most proper place through the grate which is admitted in and through the space E, through the register F, orv doors as cle- JOHN T. DAVY.
